Chapter 182 "Old Friend

Following the direction of the Earth Vein Spirit Lamp, we occasionally stopped to search the rugged mountain terrain near the earth veins. After spending an entire day doing so, it came as no surprise to anyone... we found nothing.

But we didn't expect to discover a vein of ore as soon as we set out, either.

Aside from trees, there were only more trees; we didn't even see a single bird. The exploration was even more boring than Leon had imagined.

This region, once shrouded by a curse and forbidden to life, evidently had not yet revived to the vitality of a typical forest in the brief months since. Along the way, our conversation meandered from topic to topic without much connection.

The good news was that, without any forest animals in sight and no harassment from mosquitoes or snakes, Leon and the others treated the exploration like a spring outing.
